Gibraltar Airport - The WEIRDEST Airport With A ROAD Crossing The Runway 

Gibraltar President: Public,shall we build a airport or roads for cars Public: Yes

It’s a very unique airport. And drivers need patience if they want to cross the border since they close the road for such a long time for planes

Gibraltar is the most southern place in europe. Canary Islands: Are we a joke to you?!

Fun fact: That "insteresting approach" to RWY 09 is that steep not in order to avoid creating noise in Algeciras, but because planes inbound Gibraltar cannot enter Spanish airspace

Road: Not a runway Emergency landing: Am I a joke to you?

You can actually go on a tour on the mountain. Theres caves inside it and there are holes for the cannons that used to be there which point strait at the runway. This means that you can see the runway from the mountain which is really cool!

Teacher: Why are you late? Student: Well there was a plane landing on the runway so they closed the road

I flew into Gibraltar last year and the landing was pretty smooth. Flew with easyJet from Luton Airport. Beautiful place to explore and go hiking. Flew back to Heathrow Airport with British Airways. The take off over the marina was pretty intense with the sharp left bank. Would highly recommend the trip just for the flight experience!

Maybe the Cars contact the Tower and it says crossing runway is approved 😂😂😂

This airport is crazy! I’m so glad you make daily uploads lmao

Great video. I've been in Gibraltar for many years. The airport is awesome. The new terminal offers a nice observation deck to watch the planes coming in. Plus you can obviously get great views from the rock, or on a boat out to sea. ( i have a video on my channel with a British Airways flight coming in as i was sailing out on a boat). Its built east/west due to the prevailing winds. But cross winds can be a problem when its blowing from the south west. The turbulence caused by the rock in this case is enough to flip a plane, hence why many flights get diverted to Malaga. Visibility can be bad too if sea fog rolls in, and there is no ILS. All approaches are visual. Airspace restrictions forbid flying over Spanish towns of Algeciras or la linea during take off and landing. Airlines running here are British Airways and Easyjet. (Monarch used to run too). Whizz Air is apparently coming next year. There's also a small airmaroc plane that flies to Tangier and Cassablanca. As well as number of private jets and charters coming in and out. There is thankfully more than just a traffic light to stop cars and people crossing the runway. There are physical barriers, spike strips and Gibraltar Defence Police (Military police) manning the barriers at both sides. They are building a tunnel but its been fraught with technical and contractual problems for many years, so no idea when we will finally see it open. Though to be honest, i'd be sad to see this unique highway crossing go. You should come visit Gibraltar when travel restrictions get better.!

Yesterday I commented that we were all scaried because you said “see ya most probably tomorrow”. Thanks aviation god it has not happen

Swiss001: Departs Ryanair 737 with no issues Ryanair: *Wait, that's illegal*

0:09 if you look just a bit more left there’s this huge land thing that goes even more south beyond Gibraltar..

Yay, my first time being so new to these vids, love ya swiss001!

Once, a Vulcan bomber was forced to land here due to not enough fuel and a diversion even though the runway was not long enough on paper. It touched down on the blast pad and burst loads of tires from how hard the brakes were being pressed. He stopped on the other blast pad.

My concept of your videos that shows off airports needs to be called, "Airport Review"

I live right next to the runway lol, I can look out of my window and see planes taking off around 100m from where I'm sitting, writing this comment. I walk across this runway to get to school every morning.

Love watching spotting videos here where the alarm goes on when its 5 minutes till an arrival.

Love it how Swiss is always surprised by the clapping in the background 😂

I’ve been here and it’s certainly an interesting airport to say the least. Crossing the runway 27/09 is so surreal. 😅

Swiss: Calls Ryanair British Irish people: Get my shovel Mary.

Swiss001: *reads Aero International* Aero International: *Gibraltar Airport* Swiss001: Oh yes, gud idea

Construction workers: how do you want this airport like? Giblartar president: *Yes*

Swiss: Video Everyone: **comment rush**

love you vids man, keep making great content!

"Hello gAmErs wElc0me baCk tO aNoTher sWiSs 001 vIDeo." -Swiss001 2019 "Now welcome guys back to the channel." -Swiss001 2020

I've been with this channel since 80k I love ur vids. Congratulations on 400k

Imagine riding in your car and seeing a plane landing on you. Nice

I am so exited, because this is the first special airport i have seen in person!

Swiss001: we have stopped Plane: *still moving in replay mode*

Swiss001: British territory in Spain Spain: *Hmm?*

We Want “Hey Guys” And IF Back!!!!!!! #BringBackHeyGuys #BringBackIF

nice video bro, glad to see Algeciras (my city and the one you have to avoid to land in gibraltar) in your video

Me: on a road trip Me: also looking at a plane taking off Oh cool Now I see a plane crashing in our car

great video swiss!

I’ve been there before, it’s very exciting crossing the road and minutes later seeing a plane landing

You are the best! I work at that airport I’m the one that sells tickets and sometimes I stay down in the road to make sure the gates work and people respect the rules

I was there last summer, it was incredible to cross the runway by foot after entering GIbraltar from Spain and just after crossing it the road was closed and an easyJet A320 took off after backtracking, it is a must-see

I’ve been there and it’s so cool to land at... i went on monarch air about a week before it went bankrupt (it’s also not normally that windy or cloudy - when I went it was about 32•C!!)

Teacher: Why are you late? Normal kids: Train. Kids in Gibraltar: Plane.

5:40 Nice approach!

6:55 did anyone notice that after the cut, the plane was farther of the 09s touchdown zone, than before the cut?

Ive been waiting 43 years for this moment

In extreme landings we fly a340 into the same airport 😂😅

Every time I fly in a plane the approach includes a 45° turn which to me is kinda cool tbh because I can look out the window directly to the ground from 1,000 ft up so yeah...

Zadar airport in Croatia was once the weirdest : Road crossing the runway , Military airport section with figter jets , Firefighting squadron with canadairs and air tractors , and normal passenger terminal all in the same airport...

Looking for Avery The Cuban-American's comment

8:28 *plane about to hit the truck* Swiss001: *ends video*

0:13:most southern point in Europe. Italy: Why you bully me?

That School Bus Must've Got Blown Away By The Jet Blast 7:22

I don’t care if ur landings aren’t soft what matters is you stop. By the way, I think the 747 landing was pretty nice and smooth a bit.

Me ready for Hey guys😄 but no hey guys😫

Great Video!

Honestly i think it would be pretty cool to be the first in line when a plane lands. and to cross an operative runway.

Swiss001: Let's actually try doing a smooth landing this time. GPWS: SINKRATE! WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP!

Swiss001: lands halfway down runway, overruns by .002m, Nope airport cant operate this jet

Nice Video dude 👌👍😀

It would be great to see some classic airliners like the dc10 md11 747-100 Lockheed's l1011 tristar

I love your videos thank you for your content.

Swiss!! The southern point of the penisula is Tarifa. Near to Gibraltar.

Well, there are other factors that make this airport DANGEROUS. One, a wind phenomenon known as the Levanter. This wind comes from going over the Rock of Gibraltar and robs pilots of airspeed on the final approach and grabs the plane and tries to flip it over. 2. There is a No-Fly Zone that pilots must steer clear of or risk getting intercepted and shot down.

2:21 Airbus A737 XD

8:05 Swiss: This looks like a smooth landing Plane: sounds of gears being crushed upon impact 😂

hey Swiss001, hope your staying safe, i have a suggestion, would you consider trying to land big planes at, "Juancho E Yrausquin Airport, Saba or (airport code: SAB)" This is the shortest runway in the world and i would like to see some big planes try to land here! Thanks! Stay safe like so he can see

I drove across this runway a few years back, was a bit wierd but a cool sight.

Hello Swiss001 i love your vids plz keep up the hard work

Swiss001: this is the weirdest airport or the dangerous airport in the world Swiss001: automatically chooses Ryanair

Glad to see someone understands Aviation

Thanks for new video

Good video 👍

As someone who has family in Gibraltar and visits often from Europe flying in, This turbulence is extremely accurate 😂

Swiss im noticing that youre doing smooths landings

Swiss OOI a year ago: Hello Gamers Now: Welcome to another video Viewers: Bring back “Hello gamers”

Swiss: NOO YOU CANNOT PUT A RUNWAY THROUGH A ROAD IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! Me playing cities skylines: haha cars go zoom

City planner: Here me out guys... what if we build ON the runway? Everyone else: Your a crazy man... I LIKE IT! BUILD IT! Pilots: **whispers** What about a tunnel?

Road crossing runway ✔mountains beside airport in a dangerous place✔soccer pitch beside runway ✔and last but not least dangerous place to have a early touch down with plane and very dangerous overrun ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔🥴🥴🥴I think the airport is........ WAY TO DANGEROUS TO BE ASSESSED TO ANYONE

Ahh your the channel I've been looking for

Lol love your videos

I went there last summer, boi what an experience xD Driving over the runway.

*Subtitles at* 0:25 *on* *Swiss001:* ....needs some kind of airport. *Subtitles:* ...needs some apples

Sumburgh Airport in the Shetlands also has a road crossing a runway & both runways are just under 5000 ft long 😀

It looks like you don´t now about that airport... good video anyway :D

you are on a field trip, you see a plane, your diver is on the runway, the plane hits you, you die. THE END

I have been to Gibraltar, on the mountain is a national park and I went there. I also wachted a easyJet land it was very cool

i have been waiting for this vido for moths since i can almost see gibraltar from my house lol

0:14 Tenerife: Am I a joke to you?

Plane: *crashes* Pilot: _nah I blame it on the cars_

I have been to Gibraltar in 2018. Although they have their own currency (Gibraltar pound), Euros are accepted mainly everywhere but with typical tourist traps. I was in a cafe were they offered me the worst exchange rate ever. They converted 18.60 £ to 29.76 € (instead of 20.80€). By paying with credit card you can avoid this.

Swiss001: they had to build an artificial runway. Me: deam, I hope there will be no lags in the runway computer system during landing.

I’ve been there, its so cool!

Ive been there, a great place for plane spotting

Do Tagbilaran Airport (Old) it is located on the island of Bohol which is in the Philippines. It closed down because there was a new airport and that the runway is kinda short only like for A320's and also it is in the middle of the city so yeah. If you want more information just click here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagbilaran_Airport.

Is sooo fun that I literally went there in summer.

Gut video

Who else noticed that Swiss doesn't say butter anymore?

Gibraltar: *has short runway Md-80: is for me Gibraltor: no a320s and 737s

Gibraltars only supermarket is a Morrisons who i work for in england. So i put in for a transfer for sunny Gibraltar which i was surprised i could actually do. Hell of a waiting list though.

"that actually worked fine without any issues" *plane doing mild bank*

Mmmmm cool videos and I looooove ur channel!
